Millie Magnus Chapter Books Series

The third installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.

Millie Magnus just knows she was born for the stage. So when the Overlook Little Theatre holds auditions for a new show, she’s certain she will be the star. Even better, Grandma Sookie, a real-life singing star, is in town just in time to give Millie all of her advice.
    But when the cast list is announced, Millie Magnus’s dreams of the spotlight fizzle. Her best friend, Poppy Anne, gets the starring role. While Poppy Anne dances center stage, Millie Magnus is stuck in the background . . . as a tree.
    The show must go on and so must Millie Magnus, but she’s stuck battling a twisty, yucky new feeling in her stomach. Will she let jealousy upstage her love for Poppy Anne? Or, with a little help (and a lot of wisdom) from Grandma Sookie, will she discover that being a good friend is the most important role of all?

The second installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.

When Millie Magnus hears hints of a plan to tear down the neighborhood playground, she knows she and her friends absolutely can’t let that happen. Millie believes she’s the obvious choice to lead the charge—she lives with the mayor after all. And no one, and I mean no one, cares about saving the playground more than her.

But when a group of cool fourth graders known as the Real Chill Pickles join the effort, Millie discovers that being a good leader might be trickier than she thought. The more Millie tries to tell everyone what to do, the more they don’t want to work with her.

Soon, the Pickles and a few of her friends have quit, leaving Mayor Millie to wonder where she went wrong. Is it possible Millie’s memories with her dad at the park have made her a tad overzealous? Can she make up with her friends and confront her fear of change before it’s too late?

The first installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.

Millie Magnus has huge love for many things—her mom, her friends, her baby chicken, Extra Spicy, and even her hot pink rain boots. She loves school, too, and can’t wait for Field Day, when her mom—the mayor of Washington, D.C.—will be her partner in the three-legged race.

Millie Magnus DOESN’T love it when Buckley, a boy from school, makes fun of her curly hair, or her name, or her friends. And she can’t believe it when Buckley is assigned to compete against Millie and her mother at Field Day! But then things get even worse. When Millie’s plan to talk to Buckley about his bullying is ruined, SHE ends up in the principal’s office.

But Millie’s can-do spirit is hard to keep down and her big feelings come in handy when she learns something new about Buckley. She may even find a way to call him a friend.
